The faucet is among the most used plumbing fixture in every home and business establishment. And because of its frequent usage, its components eventually wear out thus resulting to all sorts of plumbing issues. If you’re into do-it-yourself plumbing and want to repair your taps successfully, check out these helpful tips!

1. Contemporary faucets are durable fixtures that can last for years. However, the constant wear and tear, together with other elements, affects just how long you can use it. For instance, if you live in an area where you have high mineral content in the water, your faucets are more prone to corrosion, leaking and sediment build-up.

2. There are several grounds that you should help you decide whether you need to replace the entire faucet assembly or not. These include:

a. Cracked, discolored and worn-out finishing

b. Corroded and worn out aerator and threads

c. Replacing its components such as the screws, O-rings, clips and washers no longer fix the problem

3. When your faucet produces a screeching sound whenever you use it, there’s probably a problem with its washers. As you can see, water can make that particular sound when it passes through old and hardened rubber washers. To get rid of the noise, just install new washers or replace the entire faucet if that won’t solve the issue.

4. Meanwhile, if the faucet is squeaky, the threads in the stem are probably all worn-out. To provide a quick and easy fix, you can simply coat them with plumber’s grease.

5. Most of you have kitchen sink sprayers installed. Now there will come a point when you’ll discover that only very little water flows out of it. This usually happens because of sediment build-up in the diverter. To solve this problem, just disassemble the sprayer and pop the diverter out using a screwdriver. Soak the diverter in a mixture of boiling hot water and vinegar. The ratio of the two ingredients should be 1 is to 1.

6. Now when you discover that the faucet spits, it’s indicative of a problem with a clogged aerator. You can remove the aerator and clean it to flush all the mineral deposits that got stuck in it. However, if the aerator is already totally blocked up, you can just simply replace it.

7. Lastly, if your faucet produces a clanking sound and you’re sure that the reverberation isn’t coming from the pipes, you have to take the fixture apart and look for components or parts that have cracks or damages. Ensure that the connection is tight and leak-free as well.

If your hot water heater overheats, you should have it checked and repaired immediately. You surely do not want to risk your loved ones’ safety. Scalding hot water from your showers and faucets will surely burn your loved ones’ skin in just a matter of seconds. Not only that, an overheating hot water heater may experience pressure-related tank problems that may even result to explosion in the end. If you’re experiencing this issue with your appliance now, just follow these troubleshooting tips.

1. Check The Temperature Setting

There are instances when the temperature is just set too high. Go ahead and check the water heater’s thermostat control and check the temp. The recommended setting is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Any level more than that will not only result to high charges on your electric bill but will also damage the thermostat. So before you panic, just check the temp of the heating system first.

2. Problematic Heating Elements

As we have explained before, water heater tanks are usually equipped with one or two heating elements. These are the components responsible for warming the water stored in the tank. Now as sediments or minerals from hard water accumulate at the bottom of the tank, the heating elements get coated. When that happens, the elements work harder than ever therefore resulting to overheating. If this is the case with your heating system, just flush the tank or replace the elements if they’re already damaged.

3. Malfunctioning Thermostat Control

The water heater’s thermostat is responsible for controlling the on and off function of the heating elements. When the thermostat malfunctions, the heating elements may not stop operating therefore resulting to overheating. In cases like this, the thermostat can be reset with the use of the red button found in the system. If this doesn’t work, the thermostat should be replaced.

4. Issues With The Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve

The T & P valve is designed to relieve pressure and high temperature on the tank. When it fails to work properly or when it is stuck, the pressure and high temp inside the tank won’t be relieved. This then causes overheated water which may result to scalding. A licensed plumber or technician should replace or repair the T&P valve for you.

It’s okay to splurge on home improvement as long as you have the budget. After all, as homeowners, we all want our properties to always look their best. Now if you are doing a bathroom or kitchen remodeling soon and plan on changing your fixtures to something more high-end, you might want to read on and take these tips on how to choose a faucet.

1. When buying faucets, you have to be aware of the best and the most reputed brands. If you have no idea what they are or not sure if their reputation is indeed true, you can get ideas from your trusted plumber or loved ones and friends who know more than you do. This way, you’ll know what brands to research on the internet. Check for customer feedback. Get ideas about the items’ durability, functionality and what-nots. In other words, do your homework.

2. Consider the installation of the fixture. Who’s going to set it up? Are you going to do it yourself or have an expert install it for you? If you are a DIY plumber and want to mount it up on your own, you have to guarantee that you are familiar with the type or model that you’ll buy. There’s just no sense in spending money for something so expensive then damaging it in the end.

3. Another aspect you have to give attention to is the installation area. Will you put the tap on your kitchen sink, bathroom sink or tub? You have to get the exact measurements of the mounting areas for your faucets. How many holes do you have on your kitchen sink? How many faucets can you actually install? Do you only have to buy a single-handle unit or a double-handle one? Remember all the installation details before making a purchase to prevent going back to the store or shipping the item back to the e-commerce shop.

4. Always check on the functionality of the spout you’re eyeing. Does aesthetic appeal matter more than efficiency? Would you go for a type that requires more repairs in the long run just because it looks prettier than the other type? Do you need something that doesn’t start leaking in a few months’ use or do you value the design of the fixture more? Weigh things down. Compare and contrast items to get the most out of your money.

5. Speaking of design, we all know that we have incorporated themes in our homes. Is it in Victorian style? Minimalist? Rustic? Barn or country? Will a stainless steel finish look good in the room? How about brass? Choose a faucet style that suits the theme you have to avoid making the fixture stand out in an awkward way.
